Michael, don't you have to judge it to be porn before you can "go after it"?

Every decision you make is judging.

At the same time, *YOU* have no right to tell *ME* what I can and can't 
look at or read.

If I want a subscription to Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and Big Ones, 
that's MY business, and not yours.

If you want to regulate these things so that minors are not used, that's 
one thing. Outright banning the adult entertainment industry is wrong.

Next, you'll be trying to outlaw alcohol and tobacco.
